atw: Re: a problem for 'word' specialists

Hi Rafi (M)

I'll try and assist from memory, as follows:
First: In MS Word, try Ctrl+Z or Edit > Undo (name of action, such as: send as email) and see if that helps.
(You almost certainly hit a quick key combination that tried to E-mail the document in use.)
Second: As a safety measure, see if File > Save As... (press F12) is available to save the "E--mail" as an RTF or Word document file, so that you have a backup, from which you can restore the text to the file.
If not then, and only if you recently saved your file before unintentionally trying to E-mail it:
Third: Close Word without accepting save changes or send file before proceeding.
You might then be able to restart Word and reopen your doc file, either from the recent files list in the Start menu or from the recent files list in the Word File menu.
Also, to prevent this from happening again, in the MS Outlook Tools > Options > Mail Format tab, deselect Word as its E-mail editor. 

Hope that helps.

Cheers,

Michael Granat

Hi

I would appreciate some help with the following (stupid) problem: I was
working on a 'Word' document and I don't know what I pressed by mistake but
the document has turned into an outlook express email. The format is intact
but it has this email header. This is the good old Word2000, I am quite happy with it 
otherwise. This happened to me once a few years ago, but I forgot how I solved
the problem then.Would appreciate help with turning this email back into
a regular doc.


Regards,

Rafi
